mircea_popescu: when
the "adults" have fucked a
topic
to death
to no-one's benefit, and
the kids finally get
their hands on it.
mircea_popescu: the way
this shit works is
that nothing progresses science quite as much as
the idle availability of specific precursors. which is both why alf has a point re
the failure of us science and engineering being related
to
the criminalization of
the garage
teenager's bombmaking lab as well as
to
the general idea
that "you get
to have sex in college".
mircea_popescu: but
this aside : HAVING
the
thing
there will be very useful for some important areas of republican research. such as
the most evident one - malleable computation. (ie, when you somehow structure your code so
that others can help but can't discern what
they're helping.
this may or may not involve a well chosen cipher system).

trinque: when
the great schism occurred, I wrote
the first cut of deedbot as quickly as possible as a single large blob of code.
adlai: pairing is
the main moon math behind mumblejumble. one of my secondary hopes in going
to milan was
to leave with some rough understanding of pairings, but it has yet
to crystallize.

trinque: mod6: I'm considering bringing up common lisp UCI nodes once payment is done
BingoBoingo: trinque: Nah, I'll let you write of
the sweden
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> btw BingoBoingo i submit something like "troubled hrc fundraisers despair of ever receiving support from bitcoin, comically look
to ven in desperation" or such for
the next roundup (sauce
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-18#1556416 ) << AHA, it's a firm mebbe for next one. Didn't fit flavor of recent electoral one.
☝︎ trinque: bitcoin
terrorists must be stopped; ISIS
terrorists need moar benefits!
☟︎ shinohai: Yeah, hence I don't want
to screw up a good
thing lol by submitting
trash all
the
time
shinohai: I'm actually
tired of Qntra'ing it all
trinque: when
the great schism occurred, I wrote
the first cut of deedbot as quickly as possible as a single large blob of code.
☟︎ trinque: made great progress last weekend, got
the rest of
the various services of deedbot broken off into
tidy separate projects.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 and once
trinque gets
the payment side of deedbot ready, you can even charge a fee! << yeah, nice!
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
this should be a
thing, it occurs
to me, if it could be aware of user so ppl in l1 can specify public or private. << ah, ok. i'll put some
thought into
this.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 does
tb0t even run private sessions ? << ah, no currently it's just all public facing projects.
shinohai: They left
the eth part of it behind, no more lulz from
that camp :(
mircea_popescu: maybe
they can hire
that blonde chick with
the alt-eth what was her name
shinohai: I was just about
to say, it is obvious
they will make a pseudo scientific effirt at creating a "cryptocurrency"
mircea_popescu: buncha mentally retarded but politically ambitious social-pseudosciences
types
trying
to get ahead in
the world as best
they know how. which somehow, in
their broken culture, does not mean
twerking, for some reason.
mircea_popescu: shinohai
the ven
thing, it has nothing
to do with blockchain, or with
technology generally. it's
the funniest
thing you ever saw, a sort of etsy-paypal, made by
the same sort of stunted minds
that
tried
to push doge.
shinohai: Can't use BTC because evil
Trump uses it, we must "blockchain" instead.
mircea_popescu: mod6 and once
trinque gets
the payment side of deedbot ready, you can even charge a fee!
adlai still uses orgmode,
to mixed results
mircea_popescu: this should be a
thing, it occurs
to me, if it could be aware of user so ppl in l1 can specify public or private.
Framedragger: i suspect it wouldn't be optimal in my case. i want
ticket
tags and stuff. dependency graph is of course nice.
Framedragger: (man, i am in dire need of multi-tier
TODO lists (sorted by urgency and other
things). my
TODO
text file is a mess.)
BingoBoingo: OMG
that has
to be
the highest ratio of arm fat storage I have ever seen.
ben_vulpes: tangentially
tangentially, i dunno about
these headlights, baby. i
think i need
to
take 'em out and rattle
them around for a few hours before i
trust
the connectors and re-seating job fully.
ben_vulpes: heh
topic of i'm
trying
to sell a
third of my civic
to my business partner in exchange for a very large
turbo and his
time installing it
mircea_popescu: stick
to autoshop bodywork,
these advanced webthingees not fer ya :D
ben_vulpes: collapsing it did not undo
the expansion
ben_vulpes: expanding details on
the cert in chrome expanded
the pane off
the bottom of my screen
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo publicly campaigning from President << for <<
ty fxd
mircea_popescu: it's funny, reviewing
the iraq conflict, just how much fucking romanian weaponry is involved.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
the point
that bitcoin is "right wing", which is
to say,
that it chokes socialism by its very nature, rather
than by some sort of interpretation or ulterior human construction apparently finally landed
mircea_popescu: parliaments regulate. governments are not parliaments, nor are
they legitimate, as a matter of principle, which is separable and also separate from
the absent legitimacy of parliaments.
mircea_popescu: anyway - speaking of "misrepresentation hard
to not see as wilful" - governments DO NOT regulate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. "code IS much closer
to x
than y". "says who" "sayz me" "aokthen"
trinque: s/Clitler hold/Clitler
to hold/
mircea_popescu: apparently
the pashmerga have decided
they're not going
to go any further. iraqi "police" is on its own.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck ever heard of regular forces winning an attrition fight with insurgents and who
the fuck is
the imbecile strategist
that allowed
this
to play out...
mircea_popescu: otherwise in mosul,
the fight is now supposed
to
take
two months, a 50% upgrade, and from
the locals “The Iraqi army arrived yesterday and
took
the
town, and
today Isis came back and
the army ran away. We weren’t expecting
this.”
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> yes dram gave you 'gigabyte per chip', nevermind ~of what~ << DRAMs of rum also refreshed
the Royal Navy's gift of sodomy
mircea_popescu: and i don't need a wire. i'm just using
the wire
to loosen headcunts.
mircea_popescu points out
that a 1024x768 bundle of wires, 786.5k
total is not unthinkable. at 50 microns each + 30 insulation you'll end up with a cable bundle 4 inches
thick, big deal. a girl could
take it in either hole with a little practice!
mircea_popescu: fucking factory model
that gave us
the usg in
the end. "oh
this is where we process
things". damn it.
mircea_popescu: "oh you can't read
there,
the selector is not on
that cell!"
mircea_popescu: about as stupid as creating a mechanical drum for
the usb stick
mircea_popescu: that's what i'm saying. make a fucking proper lcd alrerady, who
the fuck heard of
this crt-emulated-in-lcd
mircea_popescu: screen shows what's in ram. no more, no less. at
the fps here considered,
these artefacts aren't more significant
than
the speaker hum due
to being powered off ac not dc
trinque: could have as many as you like,
tell
the video output
thinger
that offset x
to x+n is
the frame
